The Digital Hostile Environment is expanding

The UK Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill gives broad powers to impose conditions on a person with lawful leave in the UK, including electronic monitoring and any other conditions the Home Secretary sees fit.

We demand #DigitalSanctuary for all migrants!

Just liberated the video of one of my talks from YouTube and uploaded a copy to our Vimeo account:

Big Brother Awards 2014: Moving beyond the clouds (we need an ethical approach to design)

(Imagine what a different world we’d be living in today if folks in tech had heeded our warnings back then. But I guess they were too busy making mint.)

PS. yt-dlp is your friend (on Mac: brew install yt-dlp). Also make sure you have ffmpeg installed (brew install ffmpeg). Finally, I had to manually tell yt-dlp where to find ffmpeg although your mileage may vary based on installation method: yt-dlp "<URL>" --write-subs --ffmpeg-location=/opt/homebrew/bin/ffmpeg (--write-subs saves the subtitles if there are any to a file in a format you can use on the web).

Heu, ça veut dire quoi ? Renforcer la #surveillance ? Mettre en place la #videosurveillance ? Disposer d'un "état policier" ?

"The surveillance system upgrades at SDSU resemble moves made by the City of San Diego in previous years – many of which faced significant backlash from residents around privacy issues."

The #AI Tools #CBP Is Using to Scan #SocialMedia

Customs and #Border Protection ( #CBP ) is using various artificial intelligence tools, including ones that can quickly identify people of interest by pulling data from social media, according to documents published by the agency last week and marketing material from the contractors.

Was on Project Censored to discuss how corporations & financial institutions operate with impunity when it comes to surveillance. I emphasize the urgency of exposing these practices, protecting one another & resisting the normalization of mass surveillance.

The #AI Tools #CBP Is Using to Scan #SocialMedia
Customs and Border Protection released more documents last week that show which AI-powered tools that agency has been using to identify people of interest, including #Fivecast ONYX and #Dataminr, another social media monitoring company.
The release of these documents happened the same week that #DHS announced it will “Begin Screening Aliens’ Social Media Activity for Antisemitism.”

This case is one to watch, alongside the monopoly case in the US. Seems like there is an international consensus being formed around #Google and their role polluting our ecosystems with #surveillance apps.

#Lyft is trialing some kind of #AI snooping and transcribing. How it is related to this incident, I don't know. But we need to watch this closely and not normalize #surveillance in rideshares / taxis. #privacy

“public opinion monitoring”, "generate press releases based on real-time information", "deploying AI police agents" – that's pretty much where this dystopian AI future is going, whether it's a proprietary or open source one. Chinese gov't is just ahead on it

the worst part? Western countries will be looking at this as a blueprint for their own implementations. UK is following it already https://www.techdirt.com/2025/04/14/deepseek-is-already-being-applied-widely-across-chinas-industries-and-used-for-government-surveillance-and-propaganda/

@glynmoody I don't know if it's just me... but I think it makes little difference whether we are monitored by the western AI providers or by the eastern AI providers and the governments behind them.
